Chapter 296 Using Every Means
Swish swish!
Just as Zhan Hongxiu was talking with the old turtle, the demon infant also chased out of the Soul Nourishing Hall. Only a few afterimages could be seen in the void, and several 'Zhan Hongxiu' disappeared instantly, obviously being teleported and destroyed one by one.
"whee!"
The nine-souled demon infant raised its head, its pitch-black eyes fixed on Zhan Hongxiu, as if the infant had seen something interesting.
"Old Turtle, I think the most important thing right now is to consider how to save your own life."
Zhan Hongxiu swallowed a spiritual pill, thinking to herself, "This demonic infant is powerful... Even a cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation stage would surely die if caught off guard by it."
"The best course of action now is to flee."
Old Turtle's voice was solemn.
"I'm afraid it won't let me go..."
Zhan Hongxiu looked utterly defeated. This treasure hunt in the secret realm had not only failed to yield any treasures, but had also left her severely injured and being hunted down. She had truly lost both her wife and her army.
"This demonic infant has just gained sentience and taken human form; it doesn't know how to cultivate, and its spiritual consciousness is relatively weak... I will later use a secret technique to deliver a 'Mysterious Heart Slash' to it, and you can take the opportunity to leave..."
Old Turtle's voice was equally solemn.
"good!"
Zhan Hongxiu gritted her teeth and took out another magic weapon, a pair of strange wings, which landed on her back and allowed her to escape with magic comparable to a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.
Whoosh!
Almost as soon as she flapped her wings, the demonic infant teleported to Zhan Hongxiu's side.
With a flick of her hand, the protective shield formed by the power of the True Core was torn apart as easily as paper...
"Now is the time!"
With a cold shout, the old tortoise gathered a divine power, forming an invisible slash that fell into the demon infant's sea of consciousness.
The demon infant stopped laughing, and a look of pain appeared on its face.
Zhan Hongxiu immediately flapped her wings and flew backward.
Within his sea of consciousness, the old tortoise's voice grew weaker: "This time, I'm truly... alas, fortunately, I didn't consume too much of my divine soul essence, and I'll probably be dormant for several months... what a pity about this Nine Soul Agate..."
……
As soon as Zhan Hongxiu left, the area around the Hall of Nourishing Souls became quiet.
The nine-souled demon infant covered its forehead with its small hand, and its face immediately stopped smiling, instead revealing a hint of hatred.
But its gaze wandered around, as if searching for something.
"You can't see me!"
A man's voice rang out; it was Fang Qing's [Words Become Law]!
A hint of confusion appeared in the eyes of the Nine-Soul Demon Infant, but in an instant, it locked onto a figure in a green robe!
"snort!"
Fang Qing snorted coldly, and a third vertical eye appeared between his brows. With the amplification of the Abyss Eye Pearl, he unleashed the full power of the Vajra Pestle, striking the demon infant's sea of consciousness.
At the same time, the "Water-Splitting Ring" in his hand, imbued with strange and wondrous power, unleashed an endless torrent of Three Thousand Weak Waters, nearly drowning the infant...
"Just as the old tortoise said, this demonic infant's spiritual consciousness is its weakness!"
Fang Qing had actually arrived at the "Hall of Nourishing Souls" long ago, but he had not entered due to the dangers indicated in the divination.
However, he also managed to spot Zhan Hongxiu fleeing in a disheveled state and overheard her conversation with the old turtle.
"A demonic infant... an excellent material for condensing a second nascent soul."
"Although it's somewhat dangerous, it's still much simpler and easier than capturing the Nascent Souls of other Nascent Soul level monsters..."
Fang Qing's eyes lit up, clearly showing great interest in this demonic infant.
This is definitely the weakest stage of this demonic infant. If it waits until it devours the cultivator's soul, learns cultivation, acquires techniques and secret arts, and makes up for the weakness of its divine sense, even a Nascent Soul level monster will have a headache.
Splash!
The Three Thousand Weak Waters, like a black dragon and imbued with the light of the [Ji Water], carried a powerful anti-air force, instantly engulfing the demonic infant...
But the next moment!
A flash of silver light appeared in the void, the void behind Fang Qing tore open, and the Nine Soul Demon Infant reappeared, its little hand grabbing fiercely!
It is the supernatural power of Nascent Soul teleportation!
Whoosh!
Just as the little hand was about to grab Fang Qing, Fang Qing's figure also disappeared, which was also a teleportation technique!
Teleportation against teleportation!
When he reappeared, he was already wearing a white-gold robe.
Clang!
Fang Qing's eyes turned pure gold, and the "Sharp Light Chapter" divine power within his body was activated, emanating incomparably sharp golden energy.
The world turned deathly white as the "Kill the Wolf" sword roared forth.
Suddenly, the starlight of countless stars fell, and a sword light, as ethereal as smoke and mist, slashed towards the Nine-Soul Demon Infant.
Boom!
The magical power of a Nascent Soul level cultivator is like a high wall, or a raging torrent, surging forth.
No matter how sharp his sword was, or how much swordsmanship it incorporated, it was still broken by this brute force!
"Excellent! It truly possesses Nascent Soul level magical power!"
Fang Qing's eyes lit up.
If this demonic infant wasn't so strong, he wouldn't bother dealing with it.
Whoosh!
The Nine-Soul Demon Infant teleported again, arriving within three feet of Fang Qing, and slammed its little fist down hard.
"Haha, good timing!"
Fang Qing's body gleamed with a golden luster, and a huge golden body faintly appeared behind him. He also pressed down with a palm.
boom!
An indescribable force surged forth, causing his entire body to groan with a dull thud as if he were being overwhelmed.
"Several veins were broken, and there were also bones..."
Fang Qing introspected, his supernatural powers shifting in an instant. He activated "Heaven's Life," and was almost instantly healed: "Again!"
Rumble!
He is now at the third-tier high-grade body refinement level, barely able to contend with the demon infant, and relying on the "Heaven's Life" divine power, his injuries were almost instantly healed.
Inside the Hall of Nourishing Souls, two figures, one large and one small, could be seen constantly teleporting, emitting terrifying explosions.
With a tap of the fingertip, one is instantly transported to the exciting world of Chapter 295, "Using Every Means at Hand (Congratulations to Alliance Leader Meng Chenzhen!)".
Inside the Hall of Nourishing Souls, two figures, one large and one small, could be seen constantly teleporting, emitting terrifying explosions.
A few flashes later, we entered the hall, and the massive palace collapsed instantly...
"Vajra Pestle!"
Fang Qing seized the opportunity and unleashed his own divine sense attack technique.
After an unknown amount of time, the demon infant was the first to give in. With another flash, it hid in the void and did not reappear.
He laughed heartily, then lifted the curtain of the void and followed her inside...
……
A moment ago.
Beyond the secret realm.
"I have to go ahead, you guard the passage."
Xiang Dahu's expression changed, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, which was actually no less than that of a Core Formation cultivator!
The Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Azure Sea Sect were dumbfounded as they watched Xiang Dahu tear through the void and vanish in an instant...
Outside the secret realm, Yu Xiang'er, as Fang Qing's backup plan, continued to take Xiang Dahu's place, hiding in the shadows to keep watch...
"Young master needs you and me..."
Xiang Dahu arrived at a void and saw Qin Ruxue waiting there. He took out a pole of array flags from his storage bag.
Judging from the quality, it appears to be a high-grade Tier 3 or even a near-Tier 4 product!
He didn't say much and silently followed the instructions.
Not long.
Whoosh!
From the void, a nine-colored ray of light rushed over at an extremely fast speed, as if it were fleeing a disaster.
Then, he charged headlong into the great formation.
Click!
Within the great formation, streaks of silver light emerged, like chains, binding the Nine-Soul Demon Infant tightly.
"Whoa!"
The Nine-Soul Demon Infant dragged its chains, charging left and right, but could not escape the range of the great formation, and couldn't help but let out a cry.
"Uh...it makes it sound like we're ganging up on a kid."
Upon arriving and witnessing this scene, Fang Qing was speechless: "It seems that's indeed the case... and it's even bullying a baby..."
He stepped inside the formation and continued to deliver the finishing blows.
Rumble!
After converting the power of the "Swallowing the Sea Technique," Fang Qing's late-stage Core Formation power surged forth, as if he were shrouded in a black hole.
A third vertical eye appeared between his brows, and a bottle and a mirror also appeared.
"Mysterious Mirror... Freeze!"
Swish!
A beam of light appeared, enveloping the Nine-Soul Demon Infant and causing its form to freeze abruptly.
Then, a burst of light emerged from the "Sea-Swallowing Bottle," carrying a dazzling divine light that illuminated the demonic infant.
The demon infant was bound and unable to resist, and its expression immediately became dazed and confused.
One after another, silver chains burned fiercely, almost enveloping it in a silver cocoon.
Fang Qing raised his hand again, and a series of talismans were affixed to the silkworm cocoon. Then he made hand seals.
With a sudden inhale, the Sea-Swallowing Bottle swallowed the silkworm cocoon, and the Three Thousand Weak Waters pressed down heavily...
"We finally succeeded."
Fang Qing held the Sea-Swallowing Bottle in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the biggest benefit of this secret realm opening fell into his hands again.
"Alright, everyone, go back to your places..."
He glanced around the Zhou Tian Star Palace Secret Realm and discovered that many places had begun to collapse...
"It's time to prepare to leave..."
……
Tianxin Island, the Bronze Underground Palace.
Xiang Dahu appeared first, followed by Qin Ruxue, Fang Qing...
"Greetings, Ancestor."
The Foundation Establishment cultivators all knelt down. Since they were all cultivators from the Azure Sea Sect, they couldn't understand the higher-ups' schemes; they were simply following orders…
"Yes, open the passage and guide the disciples."
Fang Qing casually gave Qin Ruxue the instruction.
Qin Ruxue nodded, raised a small flag, and opened a void passage.
Before long, a Foundation Establishment disciple fled in a sorry state...
Half an hour later, Cui Zhe flew out of the passage riding a sword light, a hint of joy on his face.
"Oh? It seems Junior Brother Cui has gained quite a bit of benefit?"
Seeing this, Fang Qing couldn't help but make a joke.
"We have obtained some resources that are beneficial to the cultivation of the Core Formation stage... The key is that our sect has successfully transplanted the 'Five Elements Fruit Tree' this time, which can guarantee that the Core Formation stage will continue for generations to come... It can even support Core Formation cultivators to cultivate further."
Cui Zhe laughed.
The Five Elements Spiritual Fruits can not only assist in Core Formation, but also increase the number of Core Formation cultivators in the Azure Sea Sect, and can even be exchanged for resources for Core Formation cultivation...
In short, it is a spiritual plant that continuously produces treasures.
In terms of value, it ranks among the top ten in the secret realm.
Fang Qing nodded without saying anything more.
Just as the passage was about to close, a beautiful figure finally appeared – it was Zhan Hongxiu!
Compared to her previous weakened state, Zhan Hongxiu now appeared to be full of energy and seemed completely unharmed.
"This is... using some kind of secret technique to suppress the injuries? Hmm, that makes sense. She's the only outsider among the Core Formation cultivators present... Doesn't that mean we have to guard against her being double-crossed? Although if I were to make a move, this woman wouldn't be able to escape..."
Fang Qing chuckled inwardly, then said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhan, you've clearly gained quite a bit..."
Zhan Hongxiu sighed inwardly, then said, "Indeed, the gains are considerable. Are you here to inspect the goods?"
She patted her storage bag, and a dozen thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, broken magic treasures, various ores, and ancient elixirs appeared, making Cui Zhe, who was standing next to her, envious.
If Fang Qing hadn't been there, he really would have drawn his sword and killed the woman to end it all.
